It will be a while before anything of value can be done on a quantum processor. For now, all that will be done are increasingly convincing demonstrations of 'Quantum Supremacy'. This means that the quantum processor will solve a problem that is believed to be intractable on a classical computer. These problems are very contrived though, no one will actually care about the results of the computations.
